The graduation gift basket should reflect the student’s interests, accomplishments, and goals. Consider giving something that helps in the future career. For example, if the student graduated with a graphic design major, consider purchasing software or subscription services that will help to create his/her portfolio.

If it was a major in education or someone who plans to become a teacher, organizational gifts such as a professional-looking daily planner, or classroom supplies, is a welcome gift. If the person graduating chooses to see the world before entering the workforce, include high quality guidebooks such as Lonely Planer or Frommers, traveler’s checks or prepaid gift cards, or luggage accessories.

Many young adults would enjoy receiving music, such as a custom-made mix CD with some of the hits from the past several years or songs that got a lot of playtime in their dorms, fraternity/sorority houses, or student activity groups. People who majored in technical fields such as engineering or physical sciences (physics, chemistry, mathematics) may prefer “practical” gifts that serve some direct purpose, while those in the social sciences or liberal arts and fine arts may prefer more sentimental, personalized gifts such as a hand-made card or scrapbook of the college years.

Students who went to school far from where they grew up, or who will be moving away upon graduation, would enjoy photos, newspaper clippings, or other unique memoirs from their home to take with them. Gifts that tastefully and professionally allow the person graduating to display their school spirit in the working world are generally cherished for years.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that while everyone is an individual, college graduation is an important milestone that students will cherish, and thoughtful recognition of their hard work will be sincerely appreciated.
